You currently have DNS set to 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220. Try setting it to AUTO and see what happens. It may not make much difference, but it's worth a try.

BTW...Have you been able to connect to any open networks at all, or are you having problems with every open network?

I see. Your original post suggested that it was working at home but not whilst out and about.

If it's working with other networks, but not your own, then it's more than likely down to the way you have your router set up.

Is the DHCP server enabled on your router (not your phone)? If it isn't, then you'll need to either enable it, or set your phone to a static IP address.

Do you have a password for your network? If so, you may not be entering it correctly into the phone.

Do you have MAC filtering enabled in the router security settings?

The best thing to do is first try switching your router off and then back on to see if that helps. If you still have problems, then you need to go in and disable any security settings you have set up. Remove any WPA or WEP encryption, and any MAC filtering. Also, make sure you are broadcasting your SSID (so that the router is visible to the phone).

If you can find you can get a connection, then go through and enable one security measure at a time, checking each time that the phone can still connect.

Let me know how you get on.
